Wokingham & Emmbrook FC

Wokingham Town, founded in 1875, experienced local league success before entering various leagues including the Metropolitan, Delphian, Corinthian, and Athenian Leagues, and finally the Isthmian League in 1973. Achieving promotion to the Premier Division in 1982, they reached the first round of the FA Cup in 1982–83 and the FA Trophy semi-finals in 1987–88. Financial difficulties led to a decline in the 1990s, resulting in relegations. They moved grounds several times, ultimately settling at Emmbrook Sports’s Lowther Road. The club’s fortunes improved, winning the Reading Senior Cup in 2008–09, gaining promotion, and participating in the FA Cup. The plan to merge with Woodley Town didn’t materialize. Wokingham & Emmbrook won consecutive Reading Senior Cup titles in 2012 and 2013, while also achieving league success in the Hellenic Division One East. Their Reading Senior Cup victories continued, winning four times consecutively until 2015, alongside their first-ever league title. In 2021, they were promoted to the Combined Counties League Premier Division South due to their performance in the abandoned 2019–20 and 2020–21 seasons.
